In the shadow of Kobe Bryant's death: Billy Eilish won the Grammy 2020 Central Awards
Hours after Kobe Bryant perished in a helicopter accident, the Grammy Ceremony was held for 2020. The musicians spied on the giant athletes as they handed out and won prizes. Billy Elish made five of his biggest hits, including this year's recording and best new artist
Billy Elish is the big winner of the 2020 Grammy Ceremony, which took place tonight (Sunday first) in Los Angeles. The 18-year-old singer has won five awards, four of which are significant at the ceremony: Recording of the Year (on the song "Bad Guy"), Song of the Year (above), Best New Artist and Album of the Year, on "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go. ”Elisha is the youngest artist to win the Album of the Year award.
The ceremony was held in the shadow of the death of NBA star Kobe Bryant, who perished yesterday in a helicopter accident with one of his daughters and other people. The location at Staples Center, the hall where the basketball player played for most of his career, overshadowed the festivities. Both Alisha Keys, who directed the evening, and Lizzo also addressed the tragedy at the beginning of the ceremony, outlining the references that continued to arrive later in the evening. Keyes began by saying, "Here we are all together, on the biggest evening of music, celebrating the artists who have been abused, but in truth we all now feel a sad sadness. We stand heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant has built, literally."

Rapper Lil Nas X, who broke ground this year with the hit hit "Old Town Road" combining hip-hop with country, has won two awards for the song tonight: the best duo for the duo with Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as the best clip.
Before Bryant's death, however, the ceremony was backstage. The director of the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammy Awards, was fired just days before the ceremony, and later claimed media fraud and sexual harassment. Keys also addressed this, albeit vaguely, saying it was a crazy week. It's time to renew. We refuse the negative energy, we refuse the old systems. "
These are the main Grammy 2020 winners.
